the lost soul olga tokarczukova

The Lost Soul is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves, to remain patient and attentive to the world. It is a story that beautifully weaves together the voice of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and the finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings of illustrator Joanna Concejo, who together create a parallel narrative universe full of secrets, evocative of another time. The Lost Soul is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old.

In Trauma and the Soul, Donald Kalsched continues the exploration he began in his first book, The Inner World of Trauma (1996)—this time going further into the mystical or spiritual moments that often occur around the intimacies of psychoanalytic work. Through extended clinical vignettes, including therapeutic dialogue and dreams, he shows how depth psychotherapy with trauma’s survivors can open both analytic partners to "another world" of non-ordinary reality in which daimonic powers reside, both light and dark. This mytho-poetic world, he suggests, is not simply a defensive product of our struggle with the harsh realities of living as Freud suggested, but is an everlasting fact of human experience—a mystery that is often at the very center of the healing process, and yet at other times, strangely resists it.With these "two worlds" in focus, Kalsched explores a variety of themes as he builds, chapter by chapter, an integrated psycho-spiritual approach to trauma and its treatment including:images of the lost soul-child in dreams and how this "child" represents an essential core of aliveness that is both protected and persecuted by the psyche’s defenses;Dante’s guided descent into the Inferno of Hell as a paradigm for the psychotherapy process and its inevitable struggle with ...

Kdyby se na nás někdo podíval z výšky, spatřil by svět plný uspěchaných, zpocených a unavených lidí a jejich zpožděných, ztracených duší… Byl jednou jeden člověk, který příliš často a příliš rychle pracoval a svou duši nechal už dávno někde daleko za sebou. Bez duše se mu nežilo špatně — spal, jedl, chodil do práce, řídil auto, a dokonce hrál tenis. Časem však nabyl dojmu, že se svět kolem něj jaksi zploštil. Připadalo mu, jako by se pohyboval po hladkém listu papíru v sešitě na matematiku, po papíru pokrytém hustou mřížkou malých čtverečků. První kniha nositelky Nobelovy ceny Olgy Tokarczukové vyprávěná nejen slovy, ale především obrazem. Dojemnému příběhu o trpělivosti, vnímavosti a návratu k sobě samému vdechla duši výtvarnice Joanna Concejová. Její něžné, melancholické ilustrace dávají čtenáři ohromný prostor, aby se zastavil a navázal rozhovor s vlastním nitrem. Je to pohádka pro dítě, které dřímá v dospělém člověku. Pro toho, kdo už má něco odžito a začínají na něj doléhat otázky pomíjivosti. — Olga Tokarczuková, Wyborcza.pl

Pozvánka do spisovatelské laboratoře polské prozaičky a nobelistky Olgy Tokarczukové. Velká literatura je bezesporu věcí velkého talentu. I zkušení a oceňovaní spisovatelé však musejí stále zkoušet, jaký přístup funguje, a jaký ne, jakou perspektivu ten či onen příběh vyžaduje. Hledají metodu. A když ji najdou, stane se často jejich výrobním tajemstvím, které odhalují zdráhavě a po malých dávkách. Oblíbená polská spisovatelka a laureátka Nobelovy ceny za literaturu Olga Tokarczuková se rozhodla udělat pravý opak. Ve svých esejích, fejetonech a přednáškách projevuje svou zvědavost a přístup vnímavého vypravěče, který nyní čtenářům předkládá i ve stejnojmenné knize. Přibližuje, jaké zážitky a myšlenky ji formovaly, čeho si v životě všímá a na co by se nemělo zapomínat. Zpoza známých románů tak vyvstává nejen autorská mysl, ale i citlivý a inspirativní postoj ke světu. Koneckonců každý může být občas vnímavým vypravěčem.

With Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Man Booker International Prize-winner Olga Tokarczuk returns with a subversive, entertaining noir novel. In a remote Polish village, Janina Duszejko, an eccentric woman in her sixties, recounts the events surrounding the disappearance of her two dogs. She is reclusive, preferring the company of animals to people; she's unconventional, believing in the stars; and she is fond of the poetry of William Blake, from whose work the title of the book is taken.When members of a local hunting club are found murdered, Duszejko becomes involved in the investigation. By no means a conventional crime story, this existential thriller by 'one of Europe's major humanist writers' (Guardian) offers thought-provoking ideas on our perceptions of madness, injustice against marginalized people, animal rights, the hypocrisy of traditional religion, belief in predestination - and caused a genuine political uproar in Tokarczuk's native Poland.

In September 1913, Mieczyslaw Wojnicz, a student suffering from tuberculosis, arrives at Wilhelm Opitz’s Guesthouse for Gentlemen, a health resort in what is now western Poland. Every day, its residents gather in the dining room to imbibe the hallucinogenic local liqueur, to obsess over money and status, and to discuss the great issues of the day: Will there be war? Monarchy or democracy? Do devils exist? Are women inherently inferior? Meanwhile, disturbing things are beginning to happen in the guesthouse and its surroundings. As stories of shocking events in the nearby highlands reach the men, a sense of dread builds.Someone – or something – seems to be watching them and attempting to infiltrate their world. Little does Mieczyslaw realize, as he attempts to unravel both the truths within himself and the mystery of the sinister forces beyond, that they have already chosen their next target. A century after the publication of The Magic Mountain, Olga Tokarczuk revisits Thomas Mann territory and lays claim to it, blending horror story, comedy, folklore and feminist parable with brilliant storytelling.

Román, kterému autorka zasvětila tři roky práce, je odvážným dílem, v němž vypovídá hodně o sobě a svém vidění světa. Běguni (Poutníci) byli příslušníci ruské pravoslavné sekty z osmnáctého století. Věřili, že svět je dílem ďábla a ten má největší moc nad lidmi, kteří stojí na místě. Tokarczuková píše, že se setkala s dnešními běguny, kteří neustále jezdí moskevským metrem. Děj není založen na osudech postav ani na příběhu, je postaven na kulturním fenoménu: cestování. Proč lidé cestují, proč nezůstávají na místě? Odkud se bere lidský nepokoj, potřeba přemísťovat se? Jsme všichni nomády, pro které je překonávání prostoru smyslem života? Autorka popisuje svět dnešních poutníků, kteří s sebou vozí svou cestovatelskou výbavu (miniaturní šampony, skládací zubní kartáčky, pantofle), své nemoci z časových posunů a vlastní jazyk. Návštěva tohoto světa je díky autorčinu vypravěčskému mistrovství velkým zážitkem.

Flights, a novel about travel in the twenty-first century and human anatomy, is Olga Tokarczuk’s most ambitious to date. It interweaves travel narratives and reflections on travel with an in-depth exploration of the human body, broaching life, death, motion, and migration. From the seventeenth century, we have the story of the Dutch anatomist Philip Verheyen, who dissected and drew pictures of his own amputated leg. From the eighteenth century, we have the story of a North African-born slave turned Austrian courtier stuffed and put on display after his death. In the nineteenth century, we follow Chopin’s heart as it makes the covert journey from Paris to Warsaw. In the present we have the trials of a wife accompanying her much older husband as he teaches a course on a cruise ship in the Greek islands, and the harrowing story of a young husband whose wife and child mysteriously vanish on a holiday on a Croatian island. With her signature grace and insight, Olga Tokarczuk guides the reader beyond the surface layer of modernity and towards the core of the very nature of humankind.

Svět je čím dál bizarnější. Překvapivé a nepředvídatelné povídky od držitelky Nobelovy ceny za literaturu. Odkud se bere pocit podivnosti? Je podivnost vlastností světa, nebo se skrývá spíše v nás samých? Slovo "bizarní" pochází z francouzského bizarre, které znamená "divný", "zvláštní", ale také "překvapivý". A právě taková - udivující a mimo všechny kategorie - je nejnovější kniha Olgy Tokarczukové. Deset povídek, každá se odehrává v jiném prostoru: ve Volyni během vpádu švédských vojsk, v současném Švýcarsku, ve vzdálené Asii, na imaginárních místech. Proměnlivý rytmus povídek udržuje čtenáře v napětí, takže si ani na chvíli není jistý, co se stane na další stránce. Autorka jej vyvádí z rovnováhy, vystrkuje z komfortní zóny a ukazuje, že svět je čím dál méně srozumitelný. Prvky grotesky, černého humoru, fantastiky a hororu odhalují, že v realitě nic není takové, jak to na první pohled vypadá.

Opus magnum světoznámé polské autorky Rok 1752. Podolí, součást Polského království, území ležící na dnešní západní Ukrajině, oblast osídlená křesťany, židy i muslimy. Polskou společnost soužil rozkol mezi vládnoucím královským dvorem, venkovskou šlechtou a bezzemky, jejichž síla se v osmnáctém století začala naplno projevovat. Díky kvetoucímu obchodu s muslimským světem docházelo k bohaté kulturní výměně. Pozvolný hospodářský a morální úpadek však plíživě pronikal do všech pater společnosti, která se pokoušela nalézt viníka. Židé mezitím čekali na svou příležitost k emancipaci. Podstatná část příběhu se odehrává i v židovském městě Brünn, tedy v Brně, ale i v jiných středoevropských městech, takže se čtenáři nabízí zvláštní paralela se současným dramatickým střetem s jinými kulturami. Díky poutavému vyprávění Olgy Tokarczukové získáváme neodbytný pocit, že tento střet je v této části světa přítomen odpradávna. Román je obrazem dávného Polska, mocného a vlivného království na vrcholu své státnosti, ale zároveň těsně před pádem do osudové propasti zájmů sousedních mocností.

A romantic journey through forty captivating gardens lost to time. All over the world, once-flourishing horticultural spaces have been abandoned and forgotten. From the once-crumbling grandeur of the Villa d’Este and the magic of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, to the sculptural surrealism of Las Pozas and the colourful rebirth of Le Jardin Majorelle, there are countless gardens around the world with fascinating stories to tell. Author and journalist Sandra Lawrence takes readers on a tour of 40 horticultural gems from around the world that have been lost either through neglect, abandonment or destruction. Many have been consigned to history, never to be seen again, while others have been revived and restored by the care and dedication of new owners and communities. These marvels of horticulture take many forms: stately homes, floating allotments, roof gardens and more. But all of them have one thing in common: the romance of paradise lost. Featuring one bespoke illustration of each garden by renowned artist Lucille Clerc, this book is a written celebration of our love of nature, and the importance of keeping these oases of green alive and well – if not in reality, then at least on the page.

Since the days of conquistador Hernán Cortés, rumours have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden deep in the Honduran interior. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and warn the legendary city is cursed: to enter it is a death sentence. They call it the Lost City of the Monkey God. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artefacts and an electrifying story of having found the City – but then committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a single-engine plane carrying a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but a lost civilization. To confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, plagues of insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. They emerged from the jungle with proof of the legend... and the curse. They had ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Iceberg Slim''s first three novels (Pimp, Trick Baby and Mama Black Widow) offered some of the rawest and bleakest visions of urban America ever put to paper. Their refusal to compromise, coupled with their reflection of society''s underworld and underbelly, rapidly won him a major following.The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim, however, proves to be something of a departure in the sense that it is a series of short personal recollections. Make no mistake, the passion, razor-sharp perception and unflinching honesty remains and, if anything, is all the more chilling for its total directness.The wisdom he gained from a life of serious excess and violence is to be found within this varied collection of soul-bearing confessions that reveal why Iceberg Slim has been revered so widely as the spokesman of the street.This edition includes an introduction by Iceberg Slim''s widow, Diane Millman Beck.
